DUI/DWI clients who are taking part in alcohol and drug treatment centers are generally there by their own choice, but more often than not in drug treatment as part of a mandatory court order. DUI/DWI clients, particularly first-time offenders may be ordered to rehabilitation either in lieu of other consequences or as a part of a sentence. DUI/DWI clients may benefit greatly from rehab instead of being punished for his or her crimes, and so can the court system. It has been determined that people who are treated for substance abuse issues as an alternative to other penalties being forced upon them have greater chances of staying out from the court system than those who are fined, ordered to time in jail, etc. In drug and alcohol rehab centers DUI/DWI clients can ascertain why they abuse drugs and alcohol, to enable them to address these issues and find resolution to the actual conditions and circumstances inside their lives which prompt their drug abuse. This may truly save lives, not only the lives of the DUI/DWI clients, but those that may be affected by their drug or alcohol use should they drive while under the influence in the foreseeable future. This is a real second chance for DUI/DWI clients.
